Documents obtained by People confirm that John Janssen, 64, filed a “notice of settlement” regarding his ongoing suit against Shannon Beador.

Almost a year ago, John filed a lawsuit against Shannon for $75,000 that he claimed to have loaned to her during their relationship for cosmetic surgery. But now John states that he and Shannon have come to a settlement, although, the details of the settlement are unclear.

Just last week, things got ugly when both John and Shannon requested a jury trial until they came to an agreement on November 15th.

During The Real Housewives of Orange County season 18 reunion, Shannon Beador stated that she offered Janssen an agreed $70,000 if they signed a mutual non-disparagement agreement which John refused to do.

John Janssen’s current fiancee Alexis Bellino who is cast as a ‘friend’ of the Real Housewives said John didn’t want to sign it because he wanted to defend himself from false allegations.

In an RHOC confessional, John opened up on why he filed the lawsuit saying, “I didn’t want to take legal action – but my hands were tied as I was days away from crossing the statute of limitations of being able to do anything legally.” He stands by the fact that Shannon knew these were loans and that he had an email of her admitting it was a loan.

The Real Housewives of Orange County part three reunion airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.
